The right fielder out of South Effingham High played a huge role in one of the best comeback stories in baseball history as the A’s closed from five games behind the Texas Rangers with nine games left to win the American League West. Reddick hit .245 and had career highs with 32 home runs, 85 RBIs, 29 doubles and 85 runs scored. He is also considered one of the top fielding outfielders in the American League, with 15 assists this season and a .983 fielding percentage. Oakland opens the ALDS at Detroit on Saturday.
